History: The Prowler was a new kind of character, and is yet another example of the brilliant imagination of the old
Marvel team. Maybe he's corny, maybe he's silly, but for sure he was new and different. He was suggested
by John Romita Jr, and the original story came from the steady scripting pencil of Stan Lee.

Hobie Brown was a young inventor, working as a window cleaner. In order to make window cleaning
easier, he invented some special equipment, specifically...

Wrist and ankle bracelets which hold cartridges of cleaning fluid.
Steel Claws for climbing walls.
Special boots for climbing.

When he loses his cleaning job, he decides to give crime a go. He doesn't want to hurt people, but he
feels trapped by life. He modifies the bracelets to shoot pellets filled with sleeping gas, makes a hood, cape,
and costume, and sets out on his short-lived career of crime.

The Prowler is discouraged from a life of crime, but makes several later appearances as
one of the good guys.
